            Abstract : 
Molecular visualization enhances computational plasma-surface studies, offering better ways to analyze and present the atomic-scale details of the simulation. An example is given in which a standard rendering of a simulation cell suggests it is well mixed, while a more sophisticated rendering of the same cell shows otherwise.
